Crean wants players to tune out 'unneeded pressure'

BLOOMINGTON -- With a three-game losing streak, including a collapse at home against Penn State and a blowout loss at Purdue, Indiana coach Tom Crean said Monday he has to make sure his players tune out "unneeded pressure."

Their focus, Crean said, must be on what needs tweaking or correcting, with No. 16 Iowa coming to Bloomington on Tuesday night.

IU hasn't lost four in a row since ending the 2010-2011 season with a nine-game losing streak.
